Quick Summary

At a rally in Syracuse, President Trump mocked New York Governor Kathy Hochul and state Democrats for passing legislation that replaces terms like "mother" and "father" with "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent." The president criticized these changes as part of broader issues he perceives as radical left policies, including support for transgender rights. During the rally, Trump and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who is running against Hochul in gubernatorial elections, ridiculed the new language in state law, claiming it denigrates traditional parental roles and infringes on parents' rights.

Story summary

At a rally in Syracuse, President Donald Trump mocked New York state Democrats for passing legislation that removes terms like "mother" and "father" from some laws related to surrogacy. Instead of those traditional terms, the bill uses "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent." During his speech on Friday, Trump referred to Governor Kathy Hochul as a “radical left lunatic” for supporting this change. He mocked the new terminology by saying, “‘Hi gestating, I love you so much gestating,’” to laughter from the crowd. The Republican nominee in New York's gubernatorial race, Bruce Blakeman, trails Hochul by 11 points according to a recent Marist poll.
